Two teenaged female gold-medal fighters left London for their hometown of Flint on Monday, and each was welcomed home by an ecstatic group of family and friends while her hometown planned an Olympic-style celebration.

The only twist is, the two young ladies and the two Flints are separated by an ocean.

Seventeen-year-old Claressa Shields is the golden girl of Flint, Mich. -- the youngest fighter in the first-ever Olympic women's boxing competition and winner of the
middleweight Olympic gold medal.

Then there's taekwondo fighter Jade Jones, 19, who was the youngest member of Great Britain's Olympics team to win the gold, elating her hometown of Flint in North Wales, according to a report in BBC News.
